Georges St. Pierre: “There Is A Chance I Will Be Back”

In his first public appearance since UFC 167, former UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre was asked about whether he would make a return to the world of mixed martial arts. Although no concrete answers were given, GSP did leave the door open for a return:

“I’m taking a break now,” he began.

“Because I’m an obsessive guy, I give myself a challenge which automatically will mean me working on it to obtain it. So right now I take a break. I don’t give myself any preference, you know. There is a chance I will come back.”

“I just took a break. I spent Christmas time and New Years, with my family. That’s something I haven’t done for a long time. This is the first time I’ve really had nothing on my schedule. It was perfect. It was fun. It’s the first time it felt so good.

“I’m 32 years old and this is the first time I have my Christmas with my family. I spent some time but I never really had free time, total free time like I did. It was time for me to do it. I’m very happy I did it and I don’t regret any of it.

“So Christmas was incredible and now for 2014 we’ll see what’s going to happen. I have some projects in mind. I can’t talk about it, unfortunately.”
